Saab UK is part of Scandinavia's largest defence company, delivering world‑leading solutions in defence, aviation, space and civil security. Our UK presence is growing rapidly, offering a range of opportunities for personal fulfilment and career growth across software engineering, underwater robotics, radars, AI and armed forces training.
The Role
This role is part of Saab BlueBear in Bedfordshire. You will work as part of the Air Combat Simulation team supporting customers in the modelling and simulation of aircraft and associated systems, including the development and V&V of models and analysis tools.
Key Responsibilities
* Work collaboratively as an integral part of a small team delivering a customer focused task‑based modelling and simulation support service.
* Develop requirements from initial customer brief.
* Build models and analysis tools to meet the customer requirements.
* Update, debug and V&V of models and simulation tools.
* Analyse results from model integration and simulation development to provide understanding of component model performance and their interactions.
* Develop and maintain tools for translation of data files between formats used within the community.
* Develop Simulink models of aircraft and aerospace systems and auto‑code to C/C++ and DLL.
* Integrate models (Simulink and DLL) into System‑of‑Systems models.
* Undertake simulation development, testing and application with results analysis to provide understanding of component models and their interactions.
* Develop and test models for integration into Distributed Simulations.
* Extend Distributed Simulation capabilities and functionality.
* Sanity check model performance and simulation results through cross‑checking with other sources of information and engineering estimates.
* Validate and verify model performance and simulation results against requirements.
* Review documentation for accurate technical content and quality to ensure it meets required high standards.
* Investigate modelling and simulation tools to support new customer requirements.
* Generate documentation (User Guides, Interface Control Documents, Delivery Notes, Verification and Validation reports) for models, simulations and applications developed by the team at an appropriate level for the expected end user’s technical ability.
* Report on technical issues encountered with third‑party provided models and simulations, covering the issues, significance and potential resolutions.
Qualifications and Skills
* Sole UK National Required.
* Engineering degree in a relevant subject.
* Matlab and Simulink (and Stateflow), auto‑coding to C/C++ and DLL.
* Programming languages (preferably C++, C#, Delphi).
* Flight dynamics and aircraft performance modelling.
* Pilot modelling.
* Modelling of sensors and signatures (RF and EO/IR).
* Knowledge of Earth coordinate systems (Flat, spherical, WGS‑84).
* Distributed Simulation (DIS, HLA).
* Source control (Git).
* Solving optimisation problems.
* Model integration into system‑of‑systems models and distributed simulations.
Additional Technical Requirements
* Flight performance, multiple degree‑of‑freedom (3+) equations of motion, transformations between multiple frames of reference using Euler angles and quaternions, sensors and signatures, solving optimisation problems.
* Investigate, understand and resolve problems with Simulink model development and model integration into system‑of‑systems models and distributed simulations.
Security Clearance
As a National Security Vetting clearance is required for this role, applicants must hold National Security Vetting clearance to SC level, or have the ability to obtain it.
